We need speed and a middle infielder. Do you think the phils would ever trade J-Ro for Javy? Rollins had a mediocre season but stole 40+ bases. I think this would be a good acquisition.

No. If they put him on the market, they could get a younger, cheaper, and better pitcher than Javy.

I dunno - Looks like the Phils are going to the World Series. Maybe they wouldn't mind trading away a few of their key players and recent league MVP's if they are satisfied for a few years. Lets not stop with just Javy for Rollins, I wanna hear some more ideas.

You mean last years MVP for Javy? That guy?

Nope. Javy for Victorino wouldn't be shocking, but I wouldn't make that trade from either team's perspective.

This trade idea needs AAA and AA players piled on to even it out.

I'm sure we can get JRo for Javy. JC Romero is expendable for them and they could use a 5th starter. Why not?

If we are trading away Javy, we better get starting pitching in return. Cole Hamels and Jimmy Rollins for Javy seems more fair.

I don't know. I'm thinking if we also give them Anderson and Logan, we can get Lidge, too.

Trade Brian Anderson!? what the **** could you honestly be thinking!?

You're right. The Phils don't even have enough players on the current roster to make that one even. Hamels, Howard, and Rollins for Anderson would be a steal for the Phils.

There is not one fan base in any sport that doesn't have fans who can't turn off blinders and not be able to view trades realistically.

Throw Burrell in there for good measure. Javy's stuff is due for the first ever multi-Cy Young Award-winning season.

When you say "J-Ro," I assume you are referring to John Royce, hot dog vender at Citizens Bank. Otherwise, :rolling:

Can pitchers and catchers report like 3-4 months early this year?

I don't know if I can handle this.

I'd rehash all the threads in the Clubhouse right now, but you can just go there to see why I think this statement is ridiculous.

How about the statue of Mike Schmidt for the statue of Carlton Fisk? I read in another thread that Fisk was a "bad character guy." Let's trade his statue while it still has value. Make it happen, Kenny!
